title: [Comparative analysis of effectiveness of endoscopic, microsurgical and endoscopic-assisted diskectomy in treatment of patients with lumbar intervertebral disk herniations].
abstract: Application of endoscopy in spinal neurosurgery is one of modern trends of minimally invasive neurosurgery. The aim of this study was to perform comparative analysis of effectiveness in 3 surgical groups with different approaches to lumbar diskectomy applied: microsurgical, endoscopic and endoscopic-assisted. Patients' quality of life concerning ODI, severity of postoperative pain, length of incision, duration of surgery and hospital stay were assessed. We observed no significant differences in three groups according to postoperative ODI index and Macnub and Nurick outcome scales. Endoscopic diskectomy allowed to decrease postoperative pain by discharge, to minimize approach and improve cosmetic effect of surgery. Advantages and disadvantages of different methods are discussed in the paper.
